Production has commenced on LEVIATHAN, a documentary chronicling the making of HELLRAISER and HELLRAISER II. Directed by K. John McDonagh, the doc will feature interviews with such notable HELLRAISER players as Andrew Robinson, William Hope, Kenneth Cranham, Simon Bamford, Barbie Wilde, Nicholas Vince, Oliver Parker, Christopher Figg, Geoff Portass, Roy Pudefoot, Cliff Wallace, Mark Coulier and John Midgley.

Following the story of the films from their inception through production to release and the their subsequent lives and growing fan base, we aim to show fans and those less familiar with the films both the technical skills, the creative idea, the symbolism and the legacy of these movies.

Delving deep into the director’s vision and ambitions for the project we’ll be exploring where he came from, where his career had taken him and the inspiration for the story and world he created. We’ll be telling the story of his journey of making them and how close they came to his vision at the time and how he feels about them over 25 years later.

Take a look at the doc’s official Facebook page right HERE.
